House

Help me out here guys. I'm starting to really get into EDM, and so far I've really enjoyed all the old house music I've heard. I'm looking for suggestions of some older house, techno, trance, DnB and Jungle artists/albums that i should check out

House is the EDM equivalent of "Rock". It's so diverse that you'd never make headway on it as a whole, but finding out will forever be fun.

vinyl's right. Chicago is pretty much the world capital for old school house. You'd probably love Derrick Carter (but probably missed his set at coachella '06). I personally don't care for the old school, but can appreciate it's qualities. After experiencing the breaks scene in SF for several years I've learned to respect house's unpretentiousness.

The EDM scene is actually about to experience a house revival. in recent years europe had been diverging, with UK leading the way with big beat , later spawning breakbeat and Germany going minimal. At this point I think both scenes are starting to get over it. popular breaks tracks are starting to meld into a more 4X4 type thing and the minimal scene in germany is perhaps starting to realize they'd rather have fun again. The result of both are techier version of house (althought the current use of the term "tech house" refers to mostly crap). my last lloacheca mix was mostly house. I'll see if I can dig up the tracklist.

With the proliferation of production software like ableton and reason, shit is exploding quick. That means a bunch of complete shit out there, but it also means cool shit from people we may have never gotten a chance to see.
Sifting through DJ websites is almost the new crate digging. It's exciting times.

Thanks. Ironic. Those are the compilations that I got that got me into those respective sounds. I'm actually looking for advice on Acid House, DnB, Jungle. Post-house stuff, basically. I don't know where to go.

Re: House

the problem with genres like that is that there is rarely standout artists that define them. EDM is not really album based. It's mainly 12" singles and remixes.

the best thing to do is probably mention an artist and challenge people to name similar artists. Other things you can do are find compilations that particular tracks or artists you like appear on, then rape them, or you can look at the label that your favorite artists are on and see who else is on it. EDM labels are generally pretty small and genre specific.

God. I knew there was a reason I had you in my ignore list. I thought perhaps you actually had a decent recommendation, but no, it's just a waste of fucking text. Even with all the bandwidth out there, and all the morons on the internet, it seems a particular shame that you're wasting some of it.
